Shellac.net Wood Finish SupplyAn Authorized Mohawk Distributor

As of June 1st 2019 the H.Behlen Finishing Products
were transitioned to the Mohawk Finishing label.
Not every product was included in the transition,
in that there are good Mohawk equivalents for those items.
Products that have been made using the same formula for years
will be co-labeled with both Behlen & Mohawk Product numbers.
Many products are the exactly the SAME and others have an exact match in the Mohawk brand.

See our online catalog @ mohawakfinishsupply.com

Some H.Behlen Products are still available,
Co-branded items will show the Behlen product # in the description.
